[Verse 1]
    D
Hey, smoke rings in a dark room
C
 Broke heart on a bar stool
G                                    D
 Ash tray full of burnt out ciga-regrets
D
 Sad sound on a jukebox
C
 Strong stuff on a few rocks
G                                                 D
 Head full of all the things that I should'a said  (Uh)


[Chorus]
                 D
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
         C
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
  G
She ain't coming back like you
     D
She gone (Back like you)
             D
Said what I need is them Williams boys right now
 C
Hank ain't never gon' let me down (Gon' let me down)
  G                          D
Bring them family traditions on (Bring 'em on, bring 'em on, bring 'em on)
           C                                           G
Yeah, I'm just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along
                                     D
Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs


[Verse 2]
D
 New girl and a slow dance (Slow dance)
C
 She don't know there ain't no chance (No chance)
G                                     D
 I'ma 'member her name when that rooster sings (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
D
 My mama put me on a prayer list
C
 Brother says, "Only time will fix it"
G                                                    D
 I know they're right, but y'all patience ain't my thing (No, it ain't, woo)


[Chorus]
                 D
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
         C
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
  G
She ain't coming back like you
     D
She gone (Back like you)
             D

 C

           C                                           G
Yeah, I'm just keep sittin' here sippin' and singin' along
                                     D
Thank God for drinkin' and drinkin' songs


[Bridge]
D
 But I know this bottle don't love me (Love me)
C
 And I ain't never met Hank
        G
But I know old Juney wouldn't judge me
        D
Singin', "Why do you drink?" (So why do you drink?)
           D
All this whiskey here ain't helping my case
     C
So, give me the heaven with hell
         G                                    D
It's the only thing that can't push away like I do everybody else


[Chorus]
                 D
So give me that bourbon and Bocephus
         C
I can't help me so help me Jesus (Jesus)
  G

     D
She gone (Back like you)
             D
